What’s missing? The crowds… The offseason is the best time to visit Europe and pretend it is your own private playground. Whilst the famous cities of London and Paris never really lose the crowds, here are a few trade-offs I am sure you will fall in love that are (nearly) free from selfie stick attacks and queues long enoughContinue reading “Best places to visit in Europe- autumn and winter”

One day in Uttar Pradesh Capital

With only one short day to rush around Lucknow, how much of the city could I see thanks to overpriced Rickshaws and a general sense of making the most of this flying visit to India?

I think it’s fair to say that for many people exploring their ‘own back-yard’ can usually be put on a back burner as we head off to more exotic, far-flung lands but over the past few years I’ve put in a real effort to explore more of England, my home country. We have such a wealthContinue reading “My favourite places to travel in England!”
